Former Penn State quarterback Kerry Collins is on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot.

Former Penn State quarterback Kerry Collins joins Steve Wisniewski on the ballot for the 2016 National Football Foundation & College Football Hall of Fame.

Collins and Wisniewski, a former offensive lineman, are among 76 FBS players nominated for induction. The 2016 class will be announced in January.

Collins, a first-time nominee, was a first-team all-American in 1994, when he led Penn State to a 12-0 record and its first Big Ten title. Collins won the Maxwell and Davey O'Brien Awards and led the nation's most prolific offense.

Wisniewski, who has been nominated for several years, was a first-team all-America guard on Penn State's 1986 national-championship team.

In addition, former Penn State player Bill Bowes was nominated to the Hall of Fame as a coach. Bowes coached at New Hampshire from 1972-98, winning 175 games, tops in Yankee Conference history.

Bowes played at Penn State from 1962-64 and was a graduate-assistant coach in 1965.
